And you are quite right: From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarius_(laboratory):

Since 2001, NASA has used Aquarius for its NEEMO (NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations) program, to study various aspects of human spaceflight in a similar environment. Like the environment of space, the undersea world is a hostile, alien place for humans to live. Aquarius provides a safe harbor for scientists to live and work for weeks at a time.

"I don't know a single person that doesn't bike because they have to wear a helmet. And I suspect anyone that reports such is just looking for a socially acceptable reason for their lack of exercise."

You probably do not spend much time with young people. All of my friends started cycling because it's hip/cool and only later understood that it's actually a good, quick way to get around. And don't even mention ecology. Nobody cares. Mandatory helmets are show stopper in this case. And yeah.. It did not take long until they started cycling to work daily and started wearing helmets.
